How do I Execute buttons when I want them to????

[Wolf]

Ok people please help if u can. Basically I have a 'Main Form' which contains two pop up forms. So that is three forms altogether. The 'Main Form', pop-up 'Form One', and pop-up 'Form Two'.

Each pop-up form opens when its designated button is pressed. My problem is that I want the forms to open once the tab or focus goes onto its relative button.

Meaning once I tab it to ie. the button for pop-up 'Form One', I want 'Form One' to open up straight away instead of having to physically press the button. Once the details of 'Form One' have been filled in I want it to go to the next record so that it will be ready for another entry and also to close the form and subsequently open pop-up 'Form Two'. These need to be done simultaneously without having to press a button for each function to occur.

Again after filling in the details for 'Form Two', I want it to go to the next record so that it will be ready for a new entry and then to close itself. Again without having to press a button for each function to occur.

Ok hopefully I explained it clearly.... if anyone can help or give me a few ideas on solving this problem please do....thanx...

kind regards....

Try copying the code in the button's Click event to the button's GotFocus event.

Hi Wolf,

I make my Popup forms first. Then, when I design a form that will call them, I use the command button wizard. The code that the wizard creates works without modication in the GotFocus event. It's a simple cut and paste. I just tested it out.
